I glanced at the bug report. Do you have a suggested wording? I think the current version documentation intends to explain the no-argument form with this sentence: If sep is not specified or None, any whitespace string is a separator. [http://python.org/doc/current/lib/string-methods.html#l2h-197]
As for splitfields() maybe it should juts be marked for deprecation. It doesn't exist as a string method, for one thing, just in the string module. Here's the current implementation (in string.py): splitfields = split
